Google Party Celebrates Revolving Door to Obama White House

The White House has a reputation for being remarkably cozy with Google lobbyists, but apparently this relationship also extends after-hours.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group, has released a video showing top Obama officials flocking to Google’s White House Correspondents’ dinner party earlier this month.

Party attendees included David Edelman, the White House senior adviser for internet innovation and privacy; David Simas, White House director for political strategy and outreach; and Valerie Jarrett, White House senior adviser.

The White House has held more meetings with lobbyists for Google than any other top company, and nearly 250 employees have reportedly gone through the “revolving door” between the Obama administration and the technology company.
